Be it known that we, JAMES C. JARDINE. and ,learns Dioxin, both subjectsof the King of Great Britain, residing at Summerside, Prince Edward "island, Canada, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Shoes; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

ythe present invention relates to boots and shoes and more particularly to the manner of attaching soles and half soles to the same.

An object of the present invention is to provide a sole or half sole for shoes which may be readily fastened to the ordinary boot and shoe and give to the sole the appearance ot being nailless or having a blind stitch.

A fi'lrther object of the present invention is to provide rubber soles for shoes that when attached will not have any projecting nails which are liable to injure the floors, or provided with exposed stitches which are subjected to wear and producing a sole which will remain firm and elastic throughout its life.

With the above and other objects in view which will hereinafter appear as the description continues, the invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and formation of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

in the accompanying drawings has been shown a simple and preferred form of the invention, it being, however, understood that no limitation is necessarily made to the precise structural details herein exhibited, but the right is hereby reserved to any changes, alterations or modifications to which recourse may be had that come within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing the Iefficiency of the same. In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a half sole applied to an ordinary shoe which einbodies another form of the invention;

F ig. 2 is a plan view of the sole when apwithin this recess.

plied and having ythe outer layer thereof removed;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the half sole; and,

Fig. e is plan view of a slightly modilied form.

Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings wherein like and corresponding parts are designated by similar reference characters throughout the several views.

in l to et of the drawings, we have illustrated an embodiment of the invention for applying half-soles to the shoes, but it is of course te be understood that the same method of fastening half soles to the shoes may be used when applying a full sole or heels to the shoe. in the present form of the invention the sole comprises an inner section 5 and the outer sec-tion 6. The inner section of the sole is provided with a groove having countersunk or seated therein the binding strip T and this section together with the strip 7 are secured tothe shoe by means of the nails 8. The outer or tread section 6 is then cemented to the outer face of the section 5 whereby the tread section 6 will cover the fastening members. In this form of the invention the sole comprises two sections the inner one of which may be a strip of leather or rubber having a recess 9 formed within the center thereof and a piece of cork rubber or `similar material 10 having perforations 11 therein may be seated This iilling 10 may be covered with cement and the latter allowed to accumulate within the openings 11, thereby producing a more securable way of fastening the outer or tread sect-ion G of the sole to the section 5 and the sole.

In Fig. 4f of the drawings we have shown a slightlyY modied form of the invention in which the sole may consist of an inner section 12 which may be made of leather or rubber and comprising a strip which is secured by a double row of stitches 13 to the shoe and this strip 12 also establishes a recess so that a filling 10 may be seated therein. An outer or tread sec-tion 6 may then be secured to the strip and the shoe.

From the foregoing it is obvious that we have produced a rubber sole which maybe easily and readily applied to any shoe and When applied the 'fastening members will be invisible yet the sole will have the same fieXibility and durability.

Having thus fully described our invention, what We claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A shoe sole comprising inner and outer sections, said inner section comprising a strip so disposed as to leave a central recess, a metallic bindingembedded Within said strip, fastening members adapted to extend through said strip and binding, a perforated filling adapted to be seated Within said recess and said outer section adapted to be cement-- ed to said filling and said inner section.

insens;`

2. A shoe sole comprising two sections, one of said sections being in the form of a strip provided With a central opening, a metallic binding embedded Within said strip, fastening elements adapted to extend through said strip and binding, a perioratedlling piece arranged for locationv Within said section opening and the other of said sections adapted to be cemented to the filling piece and the first mentioned section.

In Witness whereof We have hereunto `set our hands.
